The auto-update part is just a cron job & a shell script. It would be
easy just to copy those over to another server:

 	/etc/cron.daily/squidGuard
 	/usr/sbin/update_squidguard_blacklists

You may need to adjust the paths in the update_squidguard_blacklists
to match the locations in the Ubuntu package.

The only other thing that may be different is the "Google SafeSearch"
hack. As far as I know that patch is unique to K12LTSP. I documented
that when I was at Ubuntu DownUnder, so it is possible that they may
add it to their next release...
